Description: The first book in English or Portuguese to devote itself to the political parties of Portugal, Thomas C. Bruneau's comprehensive book investigates the role of these parties in the emergence and consolidation of the country's new democratic system. Besides providing an intimate look at political groups in Portuguese society, this book illuminates the Portuguese example as a source of comparison with other "new democracies" and, on a larger scale, with the political party systems of Western Europe.
